And it's not just the Gap (GPS) that's helpfully creating an entire generation of young people who will never, in their eyes, be "skinny enough" to compete with the likes of such role models as Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, or Barbie -- American Eagle (AEO), True Religion (TRLG), J. Crew (JCG), and Levi's are also manufacturing skinny jeans for children.

Don't have kids? Don't worry. Skinny jeans are really meant for adults who want to feel just as insecure, physically unworthy, and unattractive for all the wrong reasons.
